Fall Things

Hello!!! It’s only been 2.5 months since I’ve last written here – and oh, how I’ve missed it!

I’ve missed sharing photos with you and telling you about random stuff that’s happening in my life. Skype, Instagram, and FB are great and all, but blogging is better. That being said, I haven’t had much to blog about. I don’t think photos of my school work and regular work are AsianCajun worthy. That’s why it took me 2.5 months to get you a quasi-outfit photo and a picture of my fall mantel. Tah-dah!

Not great styling and vignette-ing, but autumnal! I made the wreath and garland last year and miraculously found them packed up together in the garage (a.k.a. the storage/catch-all room). Some day I’ll have a Restoration Hardware/Pottery Barn worthy mantel, but not this year. Speaking of home catalogue/stores have you seen the Ikea holiday decor? I want it all!

It’s been a typical fall here in Atlanta – 70 degrees one day, 45 degrees the next. The polar vortex is supposed to hit us on Friday so that’ll be the first time I’ll legitimately have to wear a winter coat – maybe even gloves!

DKNY wool coat (remember when we bought these over 15 years ago?!?!?!) • Hat & scarf from H&M a few years ago • Gap jeans • H by Hudson boots

I so wish I could fly to Scotland next week and we could celebrate Thanksgiving in a giant house together for the second year in a row. I’ll be working for most of Thanksgiving break drowning my I-miss-my-twin sorrows in a bucket of wine. . . I kid. . . kinda 😉

You are so right. There is something about seeing you in a blog post that makes me feel more like I’m getting to see YOU! Love your fall outfit — it’s perfect!

And your mantle is perfect! No more styling needed! I love that you decorate your house for fall. We don’t really have any place to put much decor. I was even thinking I would do fairly minimal Christmas decor too just because we don’t have much space ;D. I haven’t seen the Ikea decorations yet and I probably shouldn’t because I find the twinkly glitteryness tooo tempting — even when I don’t have the space!

I so wish you were going to be at the house next week too — now it feels very wrong to not have you here. You must be in every Landmark Trust we go to — that’s part of the deal!

Right?! Is it climate change? Why has polar vortexes become a normal thing now? Lar got so giddy the other day when she realized that Atlanta was significantly colder than Scotland on the same day. Ugh. Stay warm, my friend!

So I heard that apparently it’s not a polar vortex when the cold air comes from Siberia, which apparently this recent cold snap did. It’s only a polar vortex if it comes from Canada. All I know is that it is too dang cold!!

Who We Are

We are Cath and Lar, two identical twins living in Atlanta and Seattle. We aren’t minimalist, but we do want to learn to live with less stuff. For the past five years, we’ve been whittling down the amount of things we own, and as we continue on this journey, we’d love for you to join us!
